Today current interpretations of president Eisenhower can be different, depending on how he is seen as the president. The United States right now is in a large dept and several of its economic problems. These include unemployment and continuing foreclosure problem. Health care is another issues that United States face, the amount of citizens that can’t afford insurance and the high price of medical care. The War on Terror also affects the regular life of US citizens. This includes spying on US citizen, spending trillions of dollars on the military, and fighting abroad. The assessment if Eisenhower was president today is that the debt problem and economic problem will reduce. During Eisenhower's presidency he balanced the budget, not just once, but three times. Eisenhower presidency on health care issues can be seen as a supporter of insurance company because during his presidency he reduce the power of federal government and supporter for cooperation. Eisenhower greatest accomplishment is arguably that he managed to keep America at peace, despite the conflict and foreign tension in the world at the time. The main sources of foreign tension at the time were the Soviet Union, and the conflict within Korean. In todays interpretation Eisenhower would bring back troops from abroad and spend more time and money on defense not on military. During Eisenhower's farewell address he warned the nation about military complex, how the military industrial complex can be a harmful influence on US spending.
